The first thing I'd check is the paper quality. Cheap paper often does this. Get some Hammermill stock, and see if it helps. If it does and the rollers look good, you're probably just going to have to switch paper.
If the issue is still present with good paper, check the rollers because many of these cheap Samsung ML machines use rollers that do not have 100k+ page longevity. Sometimes, the rollers can be partially worn to the point you have issues on one feeder but not the other. Before I went to an MS621 from my M401, I bought a low meter (25k page) M401dne for the better formatter with 256MB of RAM as the M401n 128MB formatter became a downside. Despite not being common, it needed rollers right out of the gate because it occasionally picked multiple sheets on a duplex model. I ate the cost to fix it since the meter was low and the rollers are easy to get from Precision Roller, being they are Canon-based machines. If the rollers do not look well seated, reseating it COULD help.[br]
NOW If it was just a model without the duplexer, I might have just put better paper in and ordered parts to install when the issue was worse, but on a dne? Not a great idea.

***NOTE: Sometimes, when the part is NLA and the rollers are genuinely worn out, you can buy time with 24lb paper, but if the rollers have visual indicators of wear or are just failing due to age, you have to eat it and replace them, as I did in that M401dne at the time. That's the first thing I'd check.***
[/quote]
The other thing I check for wear on is the separation pad. This Samsung is one of those uncommon not a HP or Canon which deploys both a roller and separator pad. If it looks worn, you'll probably have to replace it as well as the main pickup roller as they tend to go at the same time.
Here's a video to replace the rollers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=aS691nCAhz0&t=47s. It's not a quick swap.

Lo primero que revisaría es la calidad del papel. El papel barato suele causar esto. Consigue papel Hammermill y verifica si ayuda. Si lo hace y los rodillos se ven bien, probablemente solo tendrás que cambiar el papel.
Si el problema persiste con buen papel, revisa los rodillos, porque muchas de estas máquinas Samsung ML baratas utilizan rodillos que no tienen una longevidad de más de 100k páginas. A veces, los rodillos pueden estar parcialmente desgastados hasta el punto de que hay problemas con un alimentador pero no con el otro. Antes de cambiar a una MS621 desde mi M401, compré una M401dne con un contador bajo (25k páginas) por el mejor formateador con 256MB de RAM, ya que el formateador de la M401n con 128MB se volvió un inconveniente. A pesar de no ser común, necesitaba rodillos desde el principio porque ocasionalmente tomaba múltiples hojas en el modelo dúplex. Asumí el costo para arreglarlo ya que el contador era bajo y los rodillos son fáciles de conseguir de Precision Roller, siendo máquinas basadas en Canon. Si los rodillos no parecen estar bien asentados, volver a colocarlos podría ayudar.
AHORA, si fuera solo un modelo sin el dúplex, tal vez solo hubiera puesto un mejor papel y pedido las piezas para instalarlas cuando el problema empeorara, pero en un modelo dne, no es una buena idea.
[quote|format=featured]
***NOTA: A veces, cuando la pieza ya no está disponible y los rodillos están realmente desgastados, puedes ganar tiempo usando papel de 24lb, pero si los rodillos muestran indicios visibles de desgaste o simplemente están fallando debido a la edad, tendrás que reemplazarlos, como lo hice yo en esa M401dne en su momento. Eso es lo primero que revisaría.***

Lo otro que reviso para detectar desgaste es la almohadilla de separación. Este Samsung es uno de esos modelos poco comunes, que no es HP ni Canon, y usa tanto un rodillo como una almohadilla separadora. Si parece desgastada, probablemente tendrás que reemplazarla, así como el rodillo principal de recogida, ya que tienden a desgastarse al mismo tiempo.
Aquí tienes un video para reemplazar los rodillos: [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=deskto|https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=deskto|new_window=true].... No es una tarea rápida.

The first thing I'd check is the paper quality. Cheap paper often does this. Get some Hammermill stock, and see if it helps. If it does and the rollers look good, you're probably just going to have to switch paper.
If the issue is still present with good paper, check the rollers because many of these cheap Samsung ML machines use rollers that do not have 100k+ page longevity. Sometimes, the rollers can be partially worn to the point you have issues on one feeder but not the other. Before I went to an MS621 from my M401, I bought a low meter (25k page) M401dne for the better formatter with 256MB of RAM as the M401n 128MB formatter became a downside. Despite not being common, it needed rollers right out of the gate because it occasionally picked multiple sheets on a duplex model. I ate the cost to fix it since the meter was low and the rollers are easy to get from Precision Roller, being they are Canon-based machines. If the rollers do not look well seated, reseating it COULD help.[br]
NOW If it was just a model without the duplexer, I might have just put better paper in and ordered parts to install when the issue was worse, but on a dne? Not a great idea.

***NOTE: Sometimes, when the part is NLA and the rollers are genuinely worn out, you can buy time with 24lb paper, but if the rollers have visual indicators of wear or are just failing due to age, you have to eat it and replace them, as I did in that M401dne at the time. That's the first thing I'd check.***

The other thing I check for wear on is the separation pad. This Samsung is one of those uncommon not a HP or Canon which deploys both a roller and separator pad. If it looks worn, you'll probably have to replace it as well as the main pickup roller as they tend to go at the same time.

To check both, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=aS691nCAhz0&t=47s|Refer to this video for instructions|new_window=true]. It's not a quick swap.
***Given that this is a pre-HP buyout Samsung, parts might be available as they're recycling a very similar engine on the newer low-end single-function mono models, but they may also not be available. So keep that in mind—parts just may not be available.***

The other thing I check for wear on is the separation pad. Most printers that aren't HP or Canon forego this,but there are a few. If it has separate seprator pads, I will check those out. Again, if one is worn, do both, as they tend to wear out simultaneously. I DO NOT THINK Samsung does this, but I never owned one or worked with them much.
